Novena to Saint Gemma Galgani 2 Day 4 April 5

.

Oh Most Divine Lord, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Infinite Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to Thy servant, St Gemma Galgani, whose intercession we are now imploring.

.

Blessed St Gemma, you who by the will of God suffered the loss of both of your parents at a young age, and whom also suffered countless pains in body and spirit, teach us how to sacrifice and to suffer out of love for God, that we too may expiate our sins here on earth, and thereby become more worthy of the infinite treasure of being united with God in heaven.

.

(request)

.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

.

Pray for us, Saint Gemma, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

.

Let us pray

.

O God, Who didst fashion thy servant Saint Gemma into a likeness of Thy Crucified Son, grant us through her intercession the favor that we humbly request, and through the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Thy Son, may we be united with Thee for all eternity. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, One God, now and forever. Amen.
